does the lens make every thing bulge out or does it just magnify? also, is it waterproof?

It does bulge out a bit but not like other lens which is a total over kill. but it is able to take a wider shot and include more into the picture. It is somewhat water proof if you wanna take underwater photos however you'll need a water proof phone case to protect your phone! I totally love this item it's so easy to take around and to take on and off. I absolutely recommend it.

The lens is not water proof water.The pictures come out great, round and captures more of your subjects and the surrounding area.

No. It's a static lens. Think of it like a large body point and shoot, with a really big zoom.

Cannot tell specifically. If you want large magnification, you need to insert the object inside the clear plastic area. It is not even half of stated zoom otherwise. It does a decent job for the price.

The only problem i have with it is when the lens is in full wide angle. Sometimes you will see the bottom of the lens hood so i take it off for those shots. Other than that it does keep your glass from banging into things while walking around.

The Velcro straps are intended to help snug up the cover to the lens. The whole thing is akward at best, and I would not recommend using it OFF the tripod, however, once you finish with the fitting and snugging, it does keep the camera dry. A rather large, one-size-fits-all "bag" and is not just water-resistant, but water-TIGHT. Slow-working, but I guess everything is a trade-off: You trade "fast" for "dry."

I really like this monocular and I have bought 2 of them. I have used them both during a light rain and water did get in them. They are not water proof. Do not use them in places that they can get wet. Aside from the lack of waterproof I like the scope.

Yes you can see through it and it focus by moving it in and out. I would say it is a functioning novelty.

My experience is that it adjusts the focal length and this the magnification increased, but you must move the subject closer or farther from the end. You may have to move the small object into the window if it comes into focus. Depth of field gets very tight at higher mag.

Got rain with it and had no problems, as the fog I can tell you is that it's the best binoculars I have ever had. The picture is perfect, clear and very detailed. You can see every detail from afar. I do not wear glasses. I hope it helped you.

It's a microscope, so it seems to work best close up; otherwise you don't have magnification. With that said, I can focus in the lower magnification on an object about 1 meter away, but it isn't really magnified. The higher magnification requires me to be almost touching to focus. This isn't very scientific, I don't know enough about lens math to be, so I just tried it out around the room.

It has a glass lens and it seems to be very water tight. I was surprised at how well it was built and it is bright. The only thing that I did not like was the pot metal brackets. I welded solid brackets to the bumper on my jeep before I sent it off to be powered coated.

Waterproof like a jacket .. If it rains your optic is good .. You drop in a lake kiss it good bye.

This magnifying glass requires no batteries. There is no built in light. Best features are that it slides shut inside the base so the lens stays protected while in pockets/purse, and that it is an aspheric lens - meaning it magnifies accurately all the way to the edges of the lens without distortion.

The lens is coated with a rain guard and the battery pocket has o-rings. None of the paper work says its waterproof though. Hope this helps.

It is focused. I found the magnification to be pretty good and clear for such an inexpensive price. The only thing that I am disappointed with is that with normal use, it seems to pick up a lot of scratches and smudges easily, like the material is too soft.

I usually just dip the whole goggle underwater, then shake the water off, lens will be decent enough, no misty. Good luck.

I took this during a kayaking trip. I didn't have that problem. The casing is air tight, so there shouldn't be any moisture to cause lens fogging.
